    While this movie is much too talky for me, the one redeeming grace is the remarkable acting by the two young boys in love.

    This movie was a bit too slow for me. INteresting after it was all done and over, but it too long to get to teh end.

    This movie is just so-so. It's a slow mover basically and very repetitive. There's not much to it really, as so much more could have been done with the story. The acting is good but the story is weak. I was disappointed, but see what you think! There is no nudity or any sexual scenes either, only a kissing scene is all.

    Yes   |   No
